Iron Mistress is an incredible yacht from the board of legendary designer, Ted Brewer! Hull and deck were constructed in 1987 by Mooney Marine, with the interior finished up in York Maine. The quality of the build and the attention to detail of its only owner shine in this classic circumnavigator.
Iron Mistress is a conically developed radius chine steel sailboat that was custom
designed by Ted Brewer for her owner. She has circumnavigated the globe and is a one-owner sailboat who has spared no expense on her upkeep and refits over the years. Although her owner is a doctor, now retired, he is heavily versed in the industrial arts and boat building. Iron Mistress has always been ready and equipped to circumnavigate the globe, coastal cruise, liveaboard, or day sail. She is insulated with Spray Polyurethane Non-Toxic above the waterline with an Espar internal diesel heater, thus, she is quite capable of sailing in higher latitudes.
Features: All the hand rails are stainless steel which sits on top of bar stock on the cabin house which is 316L stainless steel. Thus, there are no communications for water leakage. All port lights are 316L stainless steel TIG welded to prevent future maintenance problems. Her chain plates are solid stainless steel and are TIG welded through the mild steel, therefore, no water leakage. She has a true double backstay rig for safety and double bobstays for the bowsprit. All areas that can be made out of stainless steel have been done to reduce wear and tear and future maintenance.
Other features: She has stainless steel stanchion bases which has a removable teak bulwark that eliminates the need for scuppers. She has a unique aft slanting cockpit, so again, no need for scuppers. The cockpit well is small enough that the boat will not be overwhelmed by an onboard rogue wave. She has a keel-stepped mast and with hatches closed is designed to be rolled and come back up.
The interior steel has been coated with non-toxic spray polyurethane above the waterline for sailing in higher latitudes.
Her interior layout is a two-stateroom single-head arrangement with exquisite fit and finish. Please read the vessel walkthrough in the description section.
Iron Mistress is powered by a 2002, 56 hp Yanmar maintained to the highest standard.
Features include:
- Newer standing and running rigging
- Newer sails and canvas including a Stackpak
- New bottom paint
- Newer topside paint
- Newer electronics
- Fleming self-steering gear
- Sea Frost Refrigeration (2021)
- Broadwater 4 burner propane stove with oven.
I have an extensive survey on request, along with hull thickness graphs and numbers.
Iron Mistress is available to show by appointment only.
Her original design brief was to have a boat built of steel for strength, durability, and safety and be able to carry large amounts of stores, and supplies and provide a sea kindly platform that was easy to single-hand or be sailed by a couple to circumnavigate, live-aboard or coastal cruise. Her interior is designed on an "open" concept basis for a couple and occasional guests. She has four usable sea berths with proper lee cloths in the main cabin and a double aft quarter berth to port. Thus, she can safely and comfortably sail with 2-4 crew on passages. This is something that is lacking in a lot of boats that are designed to sit at the dock. Her rig is second to none in regards to strength and her cutter rigged with a mast-mounted spinnaker pole on a track (which can be handled by a 105 lb woman). All standing rigging is oversized and she features a Harken Batcar system with lazy jacks and a Doyle stack pack for the mainsail. This system allows one person to reef the main going downwind - no more turning into big seas to reef the main.
Let's start at the companionway, as you come below you will be impressed with the clean and modern ambiance and comforted by the solid traditional feel of Maine solid wood joinery with painted bulkheads in the traditional Herreshoff fashion. She has Corian countertops in the galley with gleaming stainless steel ports. The bright white headliner is Formica with solid ash wood molding complimented by stainless steel lighting throughout as well as an oil lamp for ambiance. To help keep air moving, there are 7 Hella turbo fans throughout the interior as well. Immediately to port, is a double quarter berth with lee cloth. Next, you come to the galley on the port side. It is a secure offshore galley, beautifully finished with solid Corian surface countertops, where the cook won't have a problem being secure in a seaway or at anchor. There is tons of counterspace and a large molded Corian sink into the counter for easy cleanup and a clean look, four burner Broadwater propane stove with oven, a Seafrost holding plate refrigeration system with a huge separate freezer. It can be run off 110 or engine driven while underway. It is new as of 2021. You will always be able to make ice as well as keep ice cream frozen for 72 hours even with the system turned off.
The navigation station is to starboard, across from the galley. The nav station is a bench style with Ultraleather covering the foam cushions throughout the whole boat. The nav station is well equipped for cruising with all the communication and navigation equipment within reach. Just before the navigation station on the starboard side, there is a large wet locker and a large deep pantry. All lockers have caning in the doors for ventilation. Before the galley on the port side, directly across from the pantry is the enclosed engine box amidships. It provides copious amounts of extra counter space and can be dismantled very easily for complete engine access. In fact, once it is removed, the motor can be removed by one person using the 12,000 lb pad eye above the motor with a line to the primary winch for lifting.
